thats what the factory recommends, but you can pull way more than that. Mine has pulled our natique out of the water before with no trouble.

i think our boat weighs about 6000lbs, thats about the heaviest ive pulled, but the hardest was our 24 foot enclosed trailer just bc it has so much wind resistance.

btw it should pull it just fine, 3 miles is nothing
